Marantha Rabbit's Foot

Marantha leuconeura var. kerchoviana, Marantaceae

Oval leaves have dark olive variegations creating a feather-like appearance or the look of rabbit tracks; new foliage is folded tightly and reddish on the underside. Keep soil slightly damp but not wet; high humidity prevents leaves from turning bown on the edges; in the evening, the plants may fold their leaves.
